Visit Dr. Gillis' Wellness CenterThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center on the Editors' Rating, 94 to 37 (A vs C). Mothers who want to know the real monthly cost before the free trial talks them into it — one flat price on semaglutide or tirzepatide, everywhere in the country, with no lock-in.
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center is still a genuine option — everything about this one reads like the reassuring option — a clinic you can drive to in Oakland, Maine, a named doctor, free consultations on Wednesday afternoons, no contracts. Then you reach the pricing page: "Add Retatrutide to your current Semaglutide or Tirzepatide regimen for just $100/month." Retatrutide is not approved by the FDA for anything. It is a phase 3 investigational drug, and it is being sold here as a top-up to a medication you are already taking. Weigh the six factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Flat all-in price that doesn't step up after month one — the number you sign for is the number at the full dose
- Both compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide on a single account, so a molecule switch never resets the budget
- Licensed in all 50 states — care survives a move, a deployment, or a summer at the grandparents'
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker price — a bare teaser tier elsewhere can look cheaper for exactly one month
- Compounded only; no FDA-approved brand Wegovy or Zepbound if that is what you and your clinician want
- A general metabolic program, not a dedicated women's or maternal-health clinic
Dr. Gillis' Wellness Center
Ranked #281 · Grade C
What we like
- A real clinic: street address, phone number, named physician, walk-in consultations
- Free consultations every Wednesday afternoon, and no contracts to sign
- Prices the injection, the oral form and tirzepatide as three separate products
The caveats
- ⛔ Sells retatrutide — no FDA approval for any indication, still in trials — and sells it stacked on top of an existing GLP-1
- Not one legal page exists: no terms, no privacy policy, no telehealth consent, across twenty-one paths tried
- One clinic in Central Maine, so geography decides whether this is an option at all
